Chapter 1014, Sequence One (4k) >>
Once everyone had settled down, Professor Shylph said, “Eve, can you project now?”
Eve glanced at Dark and, after receiving a nod, replied, “Yes, I can.”
Professor Shylph nodded slightly and pushed a small device in front of Eve, saying, “Adjust the position and project onto this device. Their appearances will appear in the empty seats.”
Curious, Eve observed the palm-sized device and immediately cast the术法【Lingxi Technique】.
Alvaraite, Claire, and the now-awake Olivia and Angrey were projected into the seats on either side.
It was as if they were also attending this gathering.
Thus, among the members of the【Wisdom Serpent】, only Yirin, who was performing the spell, and Wit Gold, who was still an exchange student at the Secret Rite Academy of the Saints, were absent.
However, Yirin was actually present, and Wit’s absence didn’t matter. The meeting officially began.
“As everyone might expect,” Professor Shylph said, “the primary purpose of this gathering is to vote on whether to accept a new member.
Principal Altair blinked and raised her hand. “Hello, everyone. I’m a newcomer volunteering to join the【Wisdom Serpent】. Just call me Cynthia.”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Professor Shylph’s eyes.
A few others were genuinely amused by her.
“Let’s proceed directly,” Professor Shylph, who was tired of her antics, quickly moved forward with the process.
First was Principal Cynthia Saint Altair’s application for membership. Then, the top three members with voting rights voted on it.
The result was unsurprising.
Principal Altair’s admission was just a formality; she was originally intended to be a member of the【Wisdom Serpent】.
But merely joining the【Wisdom Serpent】wasn’t enough; they also needed to decide her sequence rank.
Professor Shylph stated, “Aside from Principal Altair’s sequence rank, I have another proposal: to elevate Dark and Professor Bode’s sequence ranks.”
Dark’s status was temporarily set aside, but Professor Bode’s sequence rank was indeed too low. However, directly elevating him to sequence three wasn’t appropriate.
Professor Shylph proposed first entering sequence five as a transitional role.
Since sequence five also lacked voting rights, there were few objections.
Professor Heldred Bode was promoted from sequence eight to sequence five. Although Dark intended to raise Diana and Rose’s sequence ranks as well, he ultimately abandoned this clearly unfeasible proposal after careful consideration.
Next came his own sequence elevation. But he was already at sequence two; further elevation would put him at the top.
The【Wisdom Serpent】’s top three in sequence were Professors Shylph, Alvaraite, and Kazel.
Dark knew he could never compare himself to them.
Yet, when the votes were cast, he received unanimous approval and leaped to sequence one of the【Wisdom Serpent】.
Above him remained only Sequence Zero, Eralganie. But that wasn’t the end.
The reason Dark was elevated to sequence one was not only due to his good performance during the【Heavenly Court】journey but also because he needed to pave the way for Principal Altair’s ascension.
After all, adding Principal Altair to the original three sequence ones would give the academy side too much话语权 within the organization.
In such a situation, another Valkyrie faction member at sequence one was necessary to balance the power.
Dark Demon became the best choice.
Therefore, both Principal Altair and Dark were promoted to sequence one, each gaining six voting rights.
The personnel adjustments of the【Wisdom Serpent】were complete.
Following this, the meeting entered its second phase: a collective discussion on future development plans.
Principal Altair took the lead, presenting Dark’s plan starting with the academy competition, which received unanimous support.
Then, Dark seized the opportunity to share his concept for the duel disk, which also gained support.
Saint Maryann Academy would fully support him in establishing a【Mana Duel Club**], and Professor Kazel would personally design a new duel disk suitable for mana duels.
He even made a highly constructive suggestion: to create the duel disk in the form of a metal ball or wristband, then materialize it through projection.
This proposal was met with widespread agreement. Dark couldn’t help but ask about the cost.
Professor Kazel pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s make two versions.”
Two versions. One basic and one advanced.
The basic version would be a physical duel disk, affordable due to lower costs and mass production, making it accessible to ordinary magi.
The advanced version would be a duel wristband that could project a duel disk after activation, achieving the same effect as a physical duel disk.
Additionally, the mechanism of the duel disk would include a duel transaction system, displaying both parties’ bets.
This alteration, driven by different levels of technical understanding, was impressive. Dark had no further objections.
They discussed for about another half hour before cutting off communication with the Duke’s Mansion.
The【Wisdom Serpent】meeting ended, but the Saint Maryann Academy meeting was just beginning.
Eve left voluntarily, but Dark stayed behind.
The meeting was taken over by Principal Altair, focusing on the selection and cultivation of professors.
The academy side needed to select a portion of suitable professors from many, inform the【Divine Path Ceremony**, and train them to become duelists!
If any of these professors passed the review, they could also be absorbed into the【Wisdom Serpent**.
Dark had nothing to contribute regarding the professors’ topics; he only mentioned Lars Melnor, the first-year math professor, a few times.
After the discussion on professors ended, the meeting shifted to the【Secret Snake**.
Strictly speaking, the【Secret Snake** was the academy’s internal “training camp.”
Principal Altair hoped Dark could assist Professor Bode in selecting some, to truly cultivate them as “trainees.”
